NSF CICI PI Meeting

The CICI PI Meeting brings together Principal Investigators funded through the National Science Foundation’s Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure (CICI) program to share research progress, exchange best practices, and strengthen collaboration.

The 2026 Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure (CICI) PI Meeting hosted at UCLA brings together Principal Investigators (PIs) funded through the National Science Foundation’s CICI program and provides a forum for participants to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities in securing the nation’s research cyberinfrastructure, provide feedback to NSF program leadership, and foster new partnerships among researchers, practitioners, and program stakeholders.

The meeting will take place on Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles, CA.

Each active award CICI should submit a poster online describing their project through the registration page by May 1st. Each active award is strongly encouraged to bring and present a printed poster at the meeting. For all CICI awards, at least one PI, Co-PI, or senior project personnel must also attend one CICI PI meeting held during the term of the grant.
